Ballet Rosa dancewear is designed for a close, professional ballet fit. Use your actual body measurements rather than everyday clothing size. For leotards and unitards, girth is particularly important because it reflects the full length of the torso. If you are between sizes or have a longer torso, the larger size is often the more comfortable starting point.

For Ballet Rosa leotards, girth is the most useful measurement when sizes disagree. A dancer can have a small bust and waist but still need the next size because of torso length. If the girth is close to the upper limit, or the dancer has a longer torso, sizing up usually gives a more comfortable result without losing the close ballet silhouette.
How to Measure for Ballet Rosa Dancewear
Measure over underwear or close-fitting clothing using a flexible tape measure. Stand naturally and keep the tape comfortably against the body without pulling it tight.
Girth
Key MeasurementUsing a flexible tape measure, start at the centre of one shoulder. Bring the tape down the front of the torso, through the crotch and back up to the same shoulder, creating one complete loop.
Keep the tape comfortably close to the body without pulling it tight. For Ballet Rosa leotards, girth is especially important when deciding between two sizes.
Bust / Chest
Measure around the fullest part of the bust or chest, keeping the tape straight and level around the body and comfortably close without compressing it.
Waist
Measure around the natural waist, usually the narrowest part of the torso. Keep the tape level and do not pull it too tightly.
Hips
Stand with the feet together and measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat. Keep the tape straight and level around the body.
Height
Stand straight without shoes, with feet flat on the floor, and measure from the floor to the top of the head.
Ballet Rosa does not use height directly in this women and girls garment chart, but it is useful when considering overall body proportion and whether a longer-torso fit may be needed.
Ballet Rosa adult sizes correspond approximately to 36 = XS/Petite, 38 = Small, 40 = Medium, 42 = Large and 44 = XL. The garments are intended to fit closely, but torso length is particularly important in leotards. If the dancer has a longer torso or the girth sits near the top of a size range, consider the next size up. Ballet Rosa also notes that a Long Torso adjustment of approximately 2 cm / 1" can sometimes be appropriate.

Where Clean Lines Meet Lace
The Ballet Rosa Amelie Leotard is one of the brand’s signature designs, pairing a beautifully composed high-neck front with an intricate lace back that reveals its full character as the dancer turns.
Smooth matte Lycra keeps the silhouette clean and close to the body, while hand-cut Austrian lace frames a dramatic oval opening across the back. Romantic without feeling overly ornate, Amelie brings a polished sense of occasion to ballet class, auditions and performance days.
Ballet Rosa Amelie High Neck Open-Back Leotard – Design & Performance
From the front, Amelie creates a calm, elongated line through the upper body. The high neckline and broad tank shoulders provide secure coverage, allowing the detailed back to become the focal point without making the overall design feel busy.
At the back, Austrian embroidered lace follows the shoulder line before separating around a generous oval cut-out. Each lace section is hand-cut for symmetry, helping the floral pattern sit evenly across the body. Gentle ruching at the lower edge softens the open-back shape, while a discreet adjustable hook-and-eye fastening closes neatly at the nape.
The main body is made from flexible matte Lycra, creating a smooth, streamlined fit with comfortable freedom through the torso and hips. A full front lining improves coverage and gives the leotard a more secure studio feel, while the classic ballet-cut leg keeps the overall silhouette refined.
Available in Poudre, Black and Navy, each colour gives the lace a slightly different personality. Poudre feels soft and delicate, while Black and Navy create a stronger contrast between the clean front and intricately framed back.
Why Dancers Love the Ballet Rosa Amelie Leotard
Ballet Rosa Amelie Wear Profile
The Dance World Wear Profile highlights how each design fits, feels and functions in the studio. Individual fit and feel may vary.
Studio Experience
Amelie feels particularly effective for dancers who prefer greater coverage across the chest and neckline but still want a distinctive studio look. The smooth front keeps the body line clear during barre and centre work, while the lace-framed back becomes especially noticeable in mirrors, photographs and performance settings.
The full front lining adds useful opacity and stability without introducing visible seams across the front. Because the lace does not stretch as freely as the matte Lycra body, correct torso length is especially important when choosing a size.
A Study in Contrast – High Neck Ballet Leotard with Open Lace Back
Amelie captures one of Ballet Rosa’s most recognisable design ideas: restraint at the front and artistry at the back. The high neckline does not compete with the lace; instead, it creates a clean foundation that makes the open-back construction feel even more deliberate.
The hand-cut floral lace brings a sense of craftsmanship to the design, but Amelie remains practical enough for regular studio wear. It is a thoughtful balance of ballet tradition, modern line and the refined detailing associated with Ballet Rosa dancewear.
Product Highlight
🖤 Ballet Rosa Signature
Amelie shows exactly why a lace leotard can become an enduring studio favourite. The clean high-neck front, beautifully framed open back and secure, moderately held fit give dancers a style that feels confident from every angle - refined enough for regular classical training, yet memorable enough for auditions, photoshoots and performance.
Why We Recommend It
Amelie gives dancers a statement back without sacrificing front coverage or a clean classical line. It feels unmistakably Ballet Rosa, while remaining easy to coordinate with traditional chiffon and stretch-mesh ballet skirts.
Dance World Tip
Poudre may feel slightly more substantial because it is lined at both the front and back. The lace also offers less give than the Lycra body, so dancers with a longer torso or those between sizes may feel more comfortable in the larger size.
